    It's exactly what you think it is well polished great combat and some good innovations. However it's one of the most shallow mmo experiences of your life. It makes other themeparks seem like deep rpg virtual worlds.

    I would tell myself that there was a reason that the betas only lasted a weekend, and that was because if it went any longer, we would have realized how shallow the game was and that there really is no end game.

    What´s up with this "there is no end-game" bull***?

    GW2 offers the exact same end-game than any other MMO in the market except  for Raiding....

    and we all knew it wasn´t going to have Raids long before it launched.

    Maybe some of you should simply tell your "own self" in the "time travel" to read better the previews and info about the game....

    No it doesn't. It doesn't have a "epic" gear or rare skills  to obtain.

    Have you heard of "Legendary Weapons"? 

    Again if cosmetic rewards are not enough for you.... it´s ok...but it was well known before launch that GW2 does not have gear grinding as in WoW where you need better & better stats to keep on going.

    I still think some (a lot) of you were expecting a WoW 2.0...and no folks...GW2 is not that.

     What is it with you people? Did you even read my post or did you just pick out something that you thought was negative so you could comment on it? I stated in my post that I knew it wasn't going to be like WoW and that cosmetic rewards were part of the endgame. I also stated that it turned out that cosmetic rewards didn't hold enough draw for me and I prefer stats and skills.  I went on to explain how their theory of endgame sounded great to me but when I finally played it, I realized that it wasn't for me. I knew it wasn't WoW.

    The winning lottery numbers, so I didn't have to work as much and had more time to play GW2.

    I would advise myself to save the cost of the game and put my entertainment cash into TSW.   I started playing GW2 about 3 weeks ago and already many of the intermediate zones are nearly empty.   To the extent that the group events and "heart" missions are novel, they're not so novel after doing them for the 50th time.

    you've made 50 characters?

    All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.

    I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.

    I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.

    I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.

    You can do the same events several time with the same character dude... DO you ppl even play this?

     

    I would tell myself not to spend money on this game, since dungeons are the crappiest of crap and Im a PvE player focused on dungeons

    Nearly the same thing I posted in the identical TOR thread: "The CE just looks sold out. Wait for the price drop.".

    I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil

    Well, if one stays at the same spot repeating the same event(s) over and over, it's not the game's fault. It's a bit like hitting yourself repeatedly on the head with a hammer and complaining that it hurts... it's not the hammer's fault, guess whose fault it is... ;-)

    I would tell my younger self that this game is exactly what i expected it to be...  With all my predicted flaws, but those flaws dont ruin the fun.

    Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)

  • CallsignVegaCallsignVega Member UncommonPosts: 288
    I would say to myself don't bother playing the game as the PvP is noob rubbish.

    Hodor!

    I'd tell myself to wait for a free trial.  Or simply not buy it.  B2P is still too expensive when you can't force yourself to play the game more than 30 hours.

    You will like it at first, but the novelty wears off very quickly, so skip it for now.
